You’ll find crime-themed or horror board games on the list that might be a bit much for children, as well as board games like Catan that are just a little more complicated or over-the-top than your average family fare.

Now, there are tons of super clever board games that are actually fun to play over the age of six. Many adults have come a long way from Candyland and The Game of Life.
